BofA introduces AI-driven Capital Markets Insights on CashPro App
This week, Bank of America is unveiling Capital Markets Insights on the CashPro App, providing a centralized view of market and issuance data relating to the Investment Grade Capital Markets – including the proprietary AI-driven Trade Evaluation Driver (TED) – to U.S.-based CashPro clients via the mobile app.
“CFOs and treasurers using the CashPro App to approve payments are the same people making debt issuance decisions,” said Tom Durkin, global product head of CashPro in Global Payments Solutions at Bank of America. “Capital Markets Insights deepens the app’s ability to enhance and simplify our investment-grade clients’ decision making.”
Capital Markets Insights will use an AI-driven algorithm leveraging market variables that produces a TED score – an objective way to quantify the macro backdrop that clients, the debt issuers, are faced with prior to deciding the viability of an investment-grade issuance on a given day.
CashPro is Bank of America’s digital banking platform accessed by more than 40,000 corporate and commercial clients around the world to manage treasury, trade, credit, and other critical operations. Many users leverage the mobile version of CashPro for its convenience, security, and personalization capabilities.
With Capital Markets Insights, data previously gathered via disparate emails, phone calls, and third-party channels will now be automatically aggregated and presented on-demand in personalized views on the CashPro App, including:
- Market statistics including Bank of America’s TED
- Same-day issuance information, new issuance data for past month
- The ability to search across investment grade secondary bond pricing data
“Our CashPro App is reaching a point of ubiquity amongst our clients thanks to its robust functionality and intuitive user interface,” said Jon Klein, co-head of Global Investment Grade Capital Markets and head of EMEA Capital Markets at Bank of America. “By digitizing Capital Markets Insights within the app, clients will be able to act more quickly and efficiently based on relevant market information.”
